I am developing a small windows application(vb.net) in vs2005.I will have a grid view that will keep on refreshing for every 5 seconds.For that grid, I want to set a background image which I can do.But my problem is, while refreshing the grid image also get refreshed which make the form unpleasant to view. So, I try to make the grid backcolor as transparent so that I can utilize the form background image which will solve my problem. But I got the error message that, we can not set the grid back color to transparent. Is there any way to achieve this.
Is it possible to change the back color of a form to transparent? I don't want to use transparent key. Because I want to put a semitransparent picture in a picture box and there is a big problem with transparent key. The semitransparent pixels show the transparent key color.
This is a VB .NET application where we are showing the output of a SQL statement in a Datagrid view. using .NET 2005.We need to get the seperators of the headers on the grid control to be the same colors as the GridColor on the form. See the picture below:We've tried looking through all of the properties of the DataGridView control, and found some interesting things that looked promising such as the DataGridViewAdvancedHeaderStyle, and DataGridViewHeaderBorderStyle, but none of it seems to allow you to change the colors on it.Does anyone know how to do this without remaking the entire thing with a GDI+ control?
Question 1: i can't manage to get the back of a label to be transparent, so i can see an image underneath.
I have this
CODE:
And it isn't working...
Question 2: I have removed the border of the form, but want to have what is left (the main content) to be a particular shape. Is that possible or do i have to have it rectangular?
I have a code that takes the pink out of a image and makes it transperent. So its just the image no color around it. How do i make a shadow for that image like below to make it look like it has its own shadow?
i have a program were you import a image with a red back and the red disapeers and turns transparent using this code. But it uses a bitmap as a image holder and bitmap does not support transparacy. So i need a image bitmap so i dont know what else to do
One last hangup with an application and I've tried like heck to research this but no luck.When I do a button click on my open file, it brings up a sub with all the open file code same for my save file and everything works perfectly.If, the open file dialog is on the screen and you should click either cancel or close I get the following argument exception unhandled, (and I've pasted all the details).It throws the exception at the very first line where textbox1 gets it's backcolor(txc(0)) is the variable in my.settings
If I open ANY file I have saved by clicking OK, all goes perfectly, it loads the file and I don't get the exception.I only get it when I click off the open file dialog with cancel or X.
I don't know what is wrong here. Firstly It is Winforms application using .net 2.0.
I have a Panel (backcolor set to Transparent, I want it to be see-through).
At run-time I want to overlap this panel on controls, show a new panel over it (as to make it feel like a model dialog). but the panel is not rendered transparent.
I want when I color a shape ,that color does not wipe the background picture.I want it be transparent not solid :S I tried Opticity property :-/ but it is just for the whole form :icon_sad: ,it does not available for the color.
Ok, so I have a small program I am building for my boss to keep track of workers at certain job sites. With the way the economy is going my boss wants to track who is showing up at specific sites (jobs) and try to even it out among all the employees - some are not working full time.
Anyway, I have two Access tables linked together with the main table being Employee Data. The second Table is Employee Jobs. Basically I have three forms. The main form on startup will show all of the employees in the company - this is basically a list of all added employees into the database (this is the second form - adding employee info). At a quick glance I would like to have the initial startup form, with grid - show employee info, show the number of jobs each employee has been assigned to. Would this be an SQL statement? How to I get a row count and post that back to the grid so it shows up on startup?
I have been using custom shapes for some time now but the pixels always have to be 100% solid or it mixes with the color I have set as transparent and its starting to get a bit annoying. Is there any way possible that I could take a png image with transparent pixels and use that as my custom shape without the transparent pixels becoming that color I chose? This is what I have: I want to put my image as the background without the purple being where the transparent pixels are. Me.Backcolor = Color.Purple Me.Transparencykey = Color.Purple
I started off with a VERY simple form and added a picturebox item to it. The code I was following used a procedure in the Form1.vb to override the transparent color of the image: bmp.MakeTransparent(Color.Fuchsia) bmp was defined in the Form's "Load" section.
Now things are different. I have more than 20 picturebox items now, each created in the Form1.Designer.vb code as follows: Me.Tile020.Image = CType(resources.GetObject("Tile020.Image"), System.Drawing.Image) Me.Tile020.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(922, 297) Me.Tile020.Name = "Tile020" Me.Tile020.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(64, 64) Me.Tile020.TabIndex = 3 Me.Tile020.TabStop = False
The image is referenced from the resources. When I run the program, I'd like all these images to have their backgrounds transparent. None of these controls is currently referenced anywhere in the code at present. What's the best way to get them to display transparently, other than recreating them as transparent .PNG's?
For i = 255 To 1 Step -1 MyPanel.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(i,Color.Red) Next
This will make the background color fade to transparent.The problem is, I don't want only the background color to change.I want to change the visibility / opacity of all the controls inside that panel too..

i'm using VB 2010 and i'm trying to make a transparent images but without success .i draw 2 GIF pictures in Photoshop and save it as transparent.i put that GIF's in 2 pictureboxes on the form and the background of the pictures is really transparent, but when i try to put one picture in the top of the other one, the first picture cover the second one with the background color (and becuase it's transparent it's like the form color)

I've tried adding a splash screen ]...to one of my applications and after exploring a while I somehow managed to get it working what bugs me now is that my splash screen is in fact a image inside a picture box and the form always shows the control color behind so what I tried is adding the form color to the transparency key this worked, somehow now, I use a png image that has some transparent effect also what I've noticed is that where I would want to show the transparent effect from the image the transparent color that is set in the forum shows below is the image to get my point of view:
I'm wondering if I can remove that "pink" color (set by me in the forum) from the image .I want to get a effect like the one Adobe products have for example
I have an infratistics grid that when I click on a row, the activerow gets set, then I click a button that will open a terminal form and ssh to an IP address in one of the activerow cells. It's not a problem until I connect to another row afterwards and it resets the activerow causing both forms to refer back to the latest activerow which would only be correct for the latest form opened. The problem then is that the terminal form refers back to the activerow cells for various updates. From my main form where the grid is, I open a new frmWodTelnet form to connect to the IP like this: [Code]
I haven't actually tried this yet, can't until next week just trying to get a grasp on how best to proceed. Does this look like it might work out for what I need, to lock the form values back to the original row until the form is closed? Or is there a better option I should be looking at.
after many weeks of annoying compatibility with windows xp, I realized that I should change the .netbar buttons to standard windows buttons. When I did this, and put the button on the transparency area and then debugged the application. I found out that the transparency add-in made the text inside the button transparent: How can I make the text show just the color, not transparent?
I have a form with transparent background (using png file).All controls placed over it becomes black at start then they change there color and comes to there original state on MouseHover.

In design mode - how do I change the default back color of buttons? I am using a white font and can not see the writing with the back color. The backcolor is transparent so in runtime it is fine (back color goes to blue and white shows).
